    I could'nt help but reply to the teacher. Does he know wht the NCTM and what does it stand for? Are'nt they providing the guidelines? But typical of a teacher, "we're not the one writting the curriculum" always absolving themselves from any responsibilities. Ask any kid who loves math and the answer is always because of the teacher who taught it differently than what the books recommended, and those are the one to be commanded day in and day out for their love of teaching and their courage to look outside the box. But a "union" mind will always remind you that it's not their job to think differently, that is not their job. The subject is as good as the teacher makes it to be. A good teacher makes a good student not the other way around, and mediocrity is the norm in our classrooms.
